    Evaluation of wax gourd [Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn.] genotypes for growth, yield and quality attributes.
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-11) Shivhare, Hradesh; Dwivedi, S.V.
    The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of wax gourd [Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn.] genotypes for growth, yield and quality attributes’’ was conducted during kharif season of 2020 at Vegetable Research Farm of College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda. The experiment was laid out in a Randomize Block Design including 21 genotypes of ash gourd viz., BUAG-1, BUAG-2, BUAG-3, BUAG-4, BUAG-5, BUAG-6, BUAG-7, BUAG-8, BUAG-9, BUAG-10, BUAG-11, BUAG-12, BUAG-13, BUAG-14, BUAG-15, BUAG-16, BUAG-17, BUAG-18, Kashi Dhawal, Kashi Ujwal and Kashi Surbhi in three replications. The treatments were applied in three replications. The data were recorded on vine length (m), number of primary branches, internodal length (cm), crop duration (DAS), polar diameter of fruit (cm), fruit peripheral thickness (cm), flesh thickness (cm), average fruit weight (kg), number of seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight (g), fruit yield (q/ha), total soluble solid (0Brix), vitamin C (mg/100g) and protein (mg/100g). The genotype BUAG-11 showed maximum values for fruit yield (355.89 q/ha), vitamin C (44.60 mg/100 g), fruit peripheral thickness (71.02 cm) and polar diameter of fruits (46.31.cm) and at par to highest values for fruit protein (358.45 mg/100 g), average fruit weight (4.71 kg), flesh thickness (5.68 cm) and vine length (6.04 m). The genotype BUAG-10 had highest value of flesh thickness (6.18 cm and average fruit weight (7.52 kg) and second highest fruit yield (344.64 kg). Highest value for number of primary branches (3.69) and at par to highest fruit yield (333.69 q/ha) along with lowest vine length (3.10 m) and 100 seed weight (2.74 g) was noted in BUAG-7. Similarly, BUAG-18 registered highest vine length (8.55 m) and TSS (4.36 0Brix). Lowest 100 seed weight (2.74 g) and at par to highest fruit yield (333.69 q/ha) was noted in BUAG-7 whereas minimum number of seeds per fruit was observed in BUAG-15 (384.08). The ideotype (ideal plant) in wax gourd may be defined as 7.75 m-8.50 m vine length, 3.30-3.70 primary branches, 9.0-11.50 cm internodal length, 130-135 DAS maturity duration, 46 cm polar and 52 cm peripheral thickness of fruits, 5.7 cm-6.20 cm flesh thickness, 7.50 kg fruit weight, 380-390 seeds per fruit, as low as 2.7g-3.3g 100 seed weight, 4.3- 4.4 0Brix TSS, 40-45 mg/100 g vitamin C, 300-375 mg/100 g protein and 333-355 q/ha fruit yield.
